The debt-based peer-to-peer (P2P) crowdfunding market is experiencing a remarkable expansion. Estimated to grow from $4.63 billion in 2024 to $5.43 billion in 2025, the market is expected to achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.3%. The growth during this period was primarily fueled by the adoption of fintech solutions, increased demand for alternative financing, a surge in investor interest for higher yields, expanded internet reach, and growing discontent with conventional banking.

Looking ahead, the market is projected to soar to $10.14 billion by 2029, maintaining a robust CAGR of 16.9%. This trajectory will be spurred by the increasing utilization of open banking APIs, heightened need for SME financing, the rise of mobile-first lending platforms, and the proliferation of ESG-focused lending products. In addition, the participation of institutional investors in P2P markets is set to drive growth further. Key trends include advancements in AI for risk assessment, adoption of blockchain for loan management, alternative credit scoring innovations, and the integration of regulatory technology.
Fintech advancements are pivotal in propelling this market. The growing need for swift and easily accessible financial services prompts consumers and businesses towards technology-driven solutions. Debt-based P2P crowdfunding platforms have emerged as key players in this evolution, facilitating direct online lending and offering competitive yields for investors, thereby promoting financial inclusion. The UK FinTech sector, with over 1,600 firms as of 2023, exemplifies this trend and is projected to double by 2030.
The dynamic expansion of start-ups plays a crucial role in driving the P2P crowdfunding market. Access to digital technology enables entrepreneurs to scale operations efficiently, and debt-based P2P platforms offer an effective means for new businesses to secure necessary capital without traditional bank involvement. The reported increase in registered companies in the UK, totaling 5.63 million in 2024, underscores the market's potential.
Leading companies in the debt-based P2P crowdfunding sector are innovating with products like term-based peer-to-peer plans to cater to diverse investor preferences and optimize borrower repayment structures. Notably, LenDenClub's introduction of the Fixed Maturity Peer-to-Peer Plan (FMPP) demonstrates how platforms are utilizing advanced risk assessment tools to match lenders with creditworthy borrowers.
Industry giants such as LendingClub Corporation, Upstart Network Inc., and others are reshaping the landscape. While North America led the market in 2024, the Asia-Pacific region is set to experience the fastest growth. Countries like Australia, China, and India are central to this trend.
However, geopolitical shifts, notably U.S. tariff escalations, are impacting the financial sector, enhancing market volatility and influencing investment strategies. These changes emphasize the need for diversified investment portfolios and robust risk management frameworks.
